English version The Buddha said, 'In the Buddha-land of Amitabha, all those who are reborn there, when they desire food and drink, some desire silver bowls, some desire gold bowls, some desire crystal or lapis lazuli bowls, some desire coral, amber, tridacna (a type of clam), or agate bowls, or they may desire bowls of bright moon pearls, mani pearls (wish-fulfilling jewels), white jade, or purple gold, all of which appear before them according to their wishes. All kinds of delicious foods fill them, with sour, salty, spicy, and bland flavors as they desire, neither too much nor too little. They do not overeat because the food is delicious, but only to replenish their strength; after eating, it naturally digests without any residue. Or they may simply see the color or smell the fragrance and feel as if they have eaten. The food naturally disappears, and when they desire to eat again, it reappears as before. The purity, peace, and subtle joy of that land reach their peak, followed by the path of non-action Nirvana.' The Buddha said, 'In the Buddha-land of Amitabha, all are Bodhisattvas, Sravakas (disciples of the Buddha), and the most virtuous people; there are no women. They all have immeasurable lifespans, can see far and hear clearly, see each other from afar, and hear each other's voices from afar. They are all seekers of the good path, and there are no different kinds of people. Their faces are all upright, pure, and beautiful, without any ugliness. Their natures are all wise and courageous, without any mediocrity or foolishness. They know in advance what each other wants to say, and their thoughts are all virtuous. Their conversations are all about righteous matters. They all love and respect each other, without hatred or jealousy. They all follow each other without error. Their actions are in accordance with propriety, harmonious like brothers. Their words are truthful, they teach each other, and they respectfully accept without disagreement. Their minds are all pure and clean, without greed or attachment. The states of lust, anger, and ignorance are completely eradicated without any remainder. Evil thoughts and false notions are dispelled and gone. Their spirits are peaceful and calm, their bodies are light and clear, and they are happy to follow the path of the scriptures, awakening their wisdom nature and understanding their past lives. Even after countless kalpas, they know exactly where they came from. They also know the past, future, and present events of the ten directions of the world. They also know the thoughts and words of countless people in heaven and on earth, even down to the smallest creatures that crawl and fly. They also know what these beings --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

,当于何劫、何岁,尽度脱为人,得生极乐世界;或作菩萨,或作声闻,皆豫知之。其有神智洞达威力自在者,能于掌中擎一切世界。” 道场宝树分第二十七 佛言:“阿弥陀佛刹中,其道场树高一千六百由旬,四布枝树八百由旬,根入宝地五百由旬,及一切众宝自然合成。花果敷荣,作无量百千殊丽之色。于其树上。复以月光摩尼宝,帝网摩尼宝,持海轮宝,如是等众宝庄严周匝其间。复垂爱宝璎珞,大缘宝璎珞,青真珠璎珞,如是等众璎珞缀饰。复有真妙宝网罗覆其上,成百千万色种种异变,无量光艳照耀无极。或时微风徐动演出无量妙法音声,其声流布遍诸佛刹。众生闻者,得深法忍住不退转地,无其耳病,以至成就无上菩提。若有众生见此树者,乃至成佛,于其中间不生眼病。若有众生闻树香者,乃至成佛,于其中间不生鼻病。若有众生食树果者,乃至成佛,于其中间舌亦无病。若有众生树光照者,乃至成佛,于其中间身亦无病。若有众生观想树者,乃至成佛,于其中间心得清凉,远离贪等烦恼之病,皆得甚深法忍,住不退转地。彼刹诸天人世人见此树者,得三法忍:一者、音响忍;二者、柔顺忍;三者、无生法忍。如是树木、花果,与诸众生而作佛事,皆以此佛本愿力故,坚固愿故,精进力 现代汉语译本:在哪个劫、哪个岁时,能完全度化众生,让他们往生极乐世界;或者成为菩萨,或者成为声闻(Sravaka,指听闻佛陀教诲而修行证果的人),这些都是预先知道的。那些具有神通智慧、洞察一切、威力自在的人,能够在一掌之中托起一切世界。 道场宝树第二十七 佛说:‘在阿弥陀佛(Amitabha,意为无量光或无量寿)的刹土中,那里的道场树高一千六百由旬(Yojana,古印度长度单位),树枝向四方伸展八百由旬,树根深入宝地五百由旬,是由一切珍宝自然合成的。花朵和果实繁茂,呈现出无数种绚丽的色彩。在树上,又用月光摩尼宝(Chandrakanta Mani,一种能发出月光的宝石)、帝网摩尼宝(Indra's Net Mani,象征无限互联的宝石)、持海轮宝(Samudrachakra Mani,一种能控制海洋的宝石)等各种珍宝装饰环绕。还垂挂着爱宝璎珞(Ratna Mala,珍宝项链)、大缘宝璎珞(Maha-nimitta Mala,象征大因缘的项链)、青真珠璎珞(Nila-mukta Mala,蓝色珍珠项链)等各种璎珞作为点缀。上面还覆盖着真妙宝网,呈现出千百万种色彩和变化,无量的光芒照耀无边。有时微风轻轻吹动,会发出无数美妙的佛法音声,这声音传遍所有佛刹。众生听到这些声音,会获得甚深的法忍(Dharma-ksanti,对佛法的理解和接受),安住于不退转地(Avaivartika-bhumi,不会退转的修行阶段),不会有耳疾,最终成就无上菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。如果有众生看到这棵树,乃至成佛,在这期间都不会有眼疾。如果有众生闻到树的香气,乃至成佛,在这期间都不会有鼻疾。如果有众生吃到树的果实,乃至成佛,在这期间舌头也不会有疾病。如果有众生被树的光芒照耀,乃至成佛,在这期间身体也不会有疾病。如果有众生观想这棵树,乃至成佛,在这期间内心会感到清凉,远离贪婪等烦恼的疾病,都能获得甚深的法忍,安住于不退转地。那个刹土的天人世人看到这棵树,会获得三种法忍:第一种是音响忍(Ghosa-ksanti,通过声音理解佛法),第二种是柔顺忍(Anulomika-ksanti,对佛法顺从接受),第三种是无生法忍(Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti,对诸法不生不灭的理解)。这些树木、花果,都为众生做着佛事,这都是因为阿弥陀佛的本愿力、坚固的誓愿和精进的力量。’

English version: 'In which kalpa (aeon) and which year will they be completely delivered, enabling them to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss; or become Bodhisattvas, or become Sravakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings), all of this is known in advance. Those who possess divine wisdom, penetrating insight, and unrestricted power are able to hold all the worlds in the palm of their hand.' Chapter 27: The Bodhi Tree in the Sacred Site The Buddha said, 'In the Buddha-land of Amitabha (Infinite Light or Infinite Life), the Bodhi tree in the sacred site is sixteen hundred yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance) in height, its branches spread eight hundred yojanas in all directions, and its roots extend five hundred yojanas into the precious earth. It is naturally formed from all kinds of precious jewels. Its flowers and fruits are luxuriant, displaying countless beautiful colors. On the tree, it is adorned with Moon-Light Mani jewels (Chandrakanta Mani, a gem that emits moonlight), Indra's Net Mani jewels (Indra's Net Mani, a gem symbolizing infinite interconnectedness), Sea-Holding Wheel jewels (Samudrachakra Mani, a gem that controls the ocean), and other such precious jewels, encircling it all around. It is also adorned with Love-Jewel necklaces (Ratna Mala, precious necklaces), Great-Cause Jewel necklaces (Maha-nimitta Mala, necklaces symbolizing great causes), Blue Pearl necklaces (Nila-mukta Mala, blue pearl necklaces), and other such necklaces. Furthermore, it is covered by a net of true and wondrous jewels, displaying hundreds of thousands of colors and variations, with boundless light shining infinitely. Sometimes, a gentle breeze will stir, producing countless wonderful sounds of the Dharma, which spread throughout all Buddha-lands. Those who hear these sounds will attain profound Dharma-ksanti (acceptance and understanding of the Dharma), abide in the stage of non-retrogression (Avaivartika-bhumi, a stage of practice from which one does not regress), and will not suffer from ear ailments, ultimately achieving Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme perfect enlightenment). If any sentient being sees this tree, they will not suffer from eye ailments until they become a Buddha. If any sentient being smells the fragrance of the tree, they will not suffer from nose ailments until they become a Buddha. If any sentient being eats the fruit of the tree, they will not suffer from tongue ailments until they become a Buddha. If any sentient being is illuminated by the light of the tree, they will not suffer from bodily ailments until they become a Buddha. If any sentient being contemplates this tree, they will feel coolness in their hearts, be free from the diseases of greed and other afflictions, and will attain profound Dharma-ksanti, abiding in the stage of non-retrogression. The gods, humans, and beings in that land who see this tree will attain three kinds of Dharma-ksanti: first, Sound-ksanti (Ghosa-ksanti, understanding the Dharma through sound); second, Compliant-ksanti (Anulomika-ksanti, accepting the Dharma with compliance); and third, Non-origination Dharma-ksanti (Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti, understanding the non-arising and non-ceasing nature of all phenomena). These trees, flowers, and fruits perform the work of the Buddha for all sentient beings, all due to the power of Amitabha Buddha's original vows, firm vows, and diligent efforts.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 故,威神力故。” 宝网音香分第二十八
